Adam and Ashley Mayo were spending a relaxing week at the Monroe Bay Campground near Colonial Beach when things changed in the blink of an eye Friday evening. At about 7 p.m., rain started to fall. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, a fierce storm swept through the Westmoreland County campground. Heavy rain and hail poured down and howling wind tore up trees and toppled campers. Debris, trash cans and tables whizzed through the air, Ashley Mayo, 33, said Saturday.
